Thread: TCL with POSTGRES
I am trying to get run the Postgres front-end with TCL. I can’t find the library (libpgtcl.dll) after I build postgres. I did notice that when running config “tcl” and “tk” are set to “no”. Is there a way to override config (or what do I need to add to get config to decide to build “tcl” and “tk”) before running make? I need to force the creation of the libpgtcl.dll to be able to load it into the TCL interpretor.
Thanks
Paul

You have to find the interfaces, and configure with --enable-tcl, or --with-tcl="tcldirectory".. Iy's been a while so excuse this terse reply... regards, nicolas boretos

It's been a while since I stopped "struggling" with cygwin postgresql. But, yes, since yourpltcl.dll reports (and test cases) there has been allot of while (SIC!). It's now cygwin1.dll 1.5.x, postgresql 7.3.4and the september 2003 version of tcl/tk. Anyway, the pltcl.dll issues didn't apply to libpgtcl.dll.

SLao, I was not able to successfully build libpgtcl.dll with postgres 7.3.4, cygwin 1.5.5-1 and TCL 8.4. I tried your workaround from http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-ports/2001-05/msg00036.php (substituting tcl84 for tcl80). But the resulting pgtcl.dll (which was copied to libpgtcl.dll in your instructions) does not load up in the tcl console. Any suggestions, or is there an updated set of instructions to get libpgtcl.dll to build?

You will probably have to fiddle with it to get it to apply. I never submitted it because I could not get pltcl.dll to work: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-cygwin/2003-01/msg00131.php http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg00255.html Jason -- PGP/GPG Key: http://www.tishler.net/jason/pubkey.asc or key servers Fingerprint: 7A73 1405 7F2B E669 C19D 8784 1AFD E4CC ECF4 8EF6

[...] As you probably already found out, those workarounds are well outdated. I'd bet on Jason's hand ;) .
